My Twilight Journal: Jacob Black

I left off on my Twilight Journal when Edward was warming up to Bella. Bella had been invited to go to La Push with her other High School friends.  She had invited Edward to go but he declined.  Bella goes to the beach with her mind on Edward.  Not surprising after the encounters she has had with him thus far.

While at the beach Bella  is trying to have a good time and not get hurt.  She remembers the request that Edward made for her to be careful and not get hurt while he is away! She is doing her best to do so and next thing she knows here come the kids from the reservation.

She remembers Jacob Black, Charlies friend Billy’s son.  They start talking and Jacob is warm and friendly but still a few years younger than Bella.  In private as they walk together on the beach Jacob tells Bella of some Quileute legends. The legend includes some of his people becoming werewolves.  Many years ago the werewolves came across “cold ones”.  They made a treaty that the “cold ones” would not come onto Quileute land and they would not kill wolves. He then revealed that the “cold one” were blood drinkers and that the Cullen’s were the same “cold ones” his ancestors made the treaty with!

Here is my issue with this part of the book, yes Bella knows who Jacob Black is.  There is a connection between their fathers and Bella use to play with his older sisters when she was young.  All that being said, Why, Why would Jacob essentially give Bella critical details about his people being werewolves and the Cullen’s being vampires. Not only that he gave her this information not long after seeing her again!

Of course this is important to the story but would someone really do this?

After Bella’s trip to La Push Bella doesn’t want to have to deal with this at all! She tries to forget it until she falls asleep and has a nightmare.   In the dream Jacob becomes a werewolf and him and Edward are about to fight.  Edward is beckoning Bella to come to him to trust him.  Once she wakes up she is determined to do some investigating on the Internet to really find out if Edward is  a vampire.  I can only imagine what it felt like to think that this legend was true that Edward is a vampire! This is really hard for her to deal with.

Bella was really smart to just get out of the house and think!  It is so hard to deal with a bunch of information when it is being thrown at you.  Sometimes it is best to get
away and think.  That is exactly what she did!  She went out to the woods and thought about everything.  Determining that she was going to do.  Her conclusion was that even in the dream she realized she was upset about Jacob attacking Edward. She cared about Edward already. That realization was the clincher!

I wonder how Bella really resigns herself to Edward. Yes, she follows her heart and how she truly feels.  The question is, is she feeling safe with Edward because of lust or infatuation?  Edward is very mysterious or is it her intuition that she knows that Edward will keep her safe?

So many things to think about!  I am so glad I don’t have to be her position.  That is all for this entry!  Keep watching for my Twilight Journal to continue!

Off to read!
